Pretty much steam. I am not a fan of where it's going, but I believe it's something Windows in general needs. What I find interesting, is that it's almost as if MS just woke up one day and realized; "what's wrong with us? we have 100s of millions of people out there every year running our windows OS. We have tons of companies feeding off the OS we have made. Yet we are investing billions fighting a losing battle to the Playstation???? Fuck us we must be stupid. Let's get everyone that uses Windows buying games from our store instead. Fuck consoles. let's just focus on selling the games." I swear this is exactly what MS is thinking. |
Pretty much. It's basically a white flag. My issue with it though is, like everything they make or do these days, will it work when there's something that everyone already loves and adores that's better? Windows phone couldn't beat iPhone on a good day. Surface could't beat iPad sales. Their Zune got wasted by iPod. Xbox never won a generation. The only thing Microsoft has a grip on is Windows.
I honestly see whatever they're up to as going the way of that. They can't beat Steam. It's not going to happen.
